I'm not gonna complain. My wife is she likes it cold my wife and I I don't know why we stay in Texas. Well, I do know why. I am a fifth-generational Texan, so my kids are sixth, I believe that's right. Anyhow, the laws and the taxes and all that stuff is why we live in Texas. And if I was going to move out, really going to see, I would entertain at this point right now would be Oklahoma. but irregardless The downside to that is you know, all renters are not like Extravagant, I think I've experienced one white Christmas. No true Three I've had three white Christmas It's one in Ohio before I joined the army one in New York after I left the army and I think I've had one in, Texas So yeah I'm that guy. It's it's it's nothing to complain about but we do love the The red, dreary, gloomy, chilly weather. Like we always tell everybody that we should live in the Pacific Northwest. We love that dreary weather. And I believe we're called, I'm going to say it wrong, Plurial Files? Lovers of the rain or something like that. Anyhow, so yeah, all weather is really not bad. I don't think I've seen a cloud in the sky in about four days. We have to take it when we get it though. Like I keep reminding my wife, we get sometimes three months of above 100-degree temperatures. And so we have to take the November and December months and really enjoy them. Because January, February gets really cold down there. It's a cutting cold. Not as cold as y'all, for granted. And then March starts the storm season, the severe storm season, March and April and most of May, sometimes end of June. And then you've got the heat. And so that lasts from June till sometimes October. So that makes the full circle of weather in North Central Texas. I'm just filling up air time, by the way. So if y'all don't want to talk weather, jump in and change the subject. KJ5, IO2. B-E-3-F-B-X. Man, I could not take that kind of heat. soon as it gets above about 24 C I'm done I'm no I'm good no that those hundred degrees you guys get down there I couldn't take and would just just knock me on my butt but come on people's there's people's I can see on the screen y'all need to start keying up ve3 FBX" }, { "callsign_confidence": 0.85, "confidence": null, "created_at": "2025-12-22T21:20:08+00:00", "id": 87117, "node_number": "oldsys", "recording_id": 87116, "text": "I want to thank everybody for joining me for the new net today your support is greatly appreciated For more information about what we do here at the Puget Sound repeater group Please see psrg.org and filling in tonight is Louie w7 DB be filling in for Rebecca kk7 ij that's a drop on by they had a Louie and the whole game.

I was going to say I like Linux as well. I run it on a couple of different systems. But if Windows wiped out, Windows crashed and you couldn't get your files because Windows crashed, well, you make one wrong move in Linux and that's going to crash too. Probably worse than all Windows because you can get what's called a kernel panic which means basically the system just will not boot. And then you'll have to go into a command prompt which is like a line of text and start typing in bunches of stuff to restabilize the system. And I just wouldn't as a beginner. I mean I always encourage people to try Linux. And what I would do to try Linux, I'd take one of those computers you've already got that are crashed, go to another computer and download the installer for Linux and there's a procedure. And then you get it and you get it put onto a USB stick and then you can install it on one of those computers that have crashed. Then you may actually be able to re-access your files as long as you don't format the entire drive which means erase it. I'm not sure what your level of skill is so I'm just using terms and explaining the terms. But you may know all that stuff already. I don't know your technology level. But Linux can panic. Like you can breathe on it the wrong way and it can just panic. Script could fail and it could panic. There's lots of things. What I would recommend if you want something that's going to last a really, really, really long time, I don't know if you're necessarily looking for a laptop but I would go with a Mac. Macs just don't crash. I've seen unless you get like a hardware failure or something, Macs don't crash. They're very user friendly. They're very stable. There will still be a slight learning curve but you can watch a video that says learning Mac as a Windows user and it will tell you all the differences. You know like you did this on Windows while you do this on Mac and it's as simple as that. They don't crash. They're very user friendly. Very powerful. Very fast. That's what I'd recommend. Get a Mac. You'll spend a little bit more if you're looking for a laptop than you would. You know you're probably going to spend $700, $800 maybe on a MacBook, MacBook Air or something. But it will last you for 10 years. No problem. And well the battery might not last for 10 years but the computer itself, oh yeah, it will. And the batteries are not overly difficult to replace in a MacBook. They're like you just take the bottom off and it's kind of right there. You just unplug it and plug in a new one and screw it down and whatnot. But that's my recommendation. Go with a Mac and if you're looking for a desktop, look if you've got a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse kicking around already," }, { "callsign_confidence": 0.85, "confidence": null, "created_at": "2025-10-01T03:05:21+00:00", "id": 50851, "node_number": "oldsys", "recording_id": 50850, "text": " The E3SBX sitting down with morning coffee good morning Dewdrop Inn" }, { "callsign_confidence": 0.85, "confidence": null, "created_at": "2025-09-18T04:32:49+00:00", "id": 40783, "node_number": "oldsys", "recording_id": 40782, "text": " What is your name from KPMN-N-S-K?

They had to eat food out of the can. They had to take a can open or open up the food by hand and eat it. No heat, nothing happened. I think in February, it was still winter time but no one had any. They had to burn their furniture. That's how bad it was. Most of these old houses all have fireplaces. They were burning their furniture to keep warm.

So I was really excited to hear that Kami got that Tijuana Brass album with the whipped cream cover because a few months ago we were in Stanwood. I was with Kami and Robert and Andrew, KS7LNX. And we went to the, what is it? They had the ham fest up there. And afterwards we went to lunch. And after that we went to a thrift shop and I found a really nice copy of that album with the whipped cream cover for a buck. And I remember Kami was just looking at that thing. I could tell she was really jealous. Part of me almost wanted to just give it to her because I knew I could probably find one at a record store. I go to a lot of used record stores. But I don't usually see them, especially in that condition for a buck. So it was great. And yeah, so Herb Albert, so if you remember A&M Records, Herb Albert is the A in A&M Records which is like a big record company. Back in the day, I think it was Harry Moss was the A. So yeah, he, Herb Albert had a lot to do with getting a lot of people signed and into music. And I think Bert Bacharach was one of the people involved with, his music was on there. And Bert Bacharach, he wrote so many songs that were made famous by people like Dionne Warwick and The Carpenters. Yeah, so anyway, it's really cool that she found that album. It's just such a classic. I think everybody needs to have that. There's probably a list somewhere of like the 10 most iconic album covers. And I think that falls into the mix." }, { "callsign_confidence": 0.85, "confidence": null, "created_at": "2025-09-05T04:48:02+00:00", "id": 32637, "node_number": "oldsys", "recording_id": 32636, "text": " VE1 WRN" }, { "callsign_confidence": 0.85, "confidence": null, "created_at": "2025-09-03T04:09:01+00:00", "id": 31035, "node_number": "oldsys", "recording_id": 31034, "text": " This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, NQN, All Star N6222, located in Shelton, Washington." } ] }
